La Nina, as expected, is burgeoning. For us that means dry, and we’re already dry, leaving behind the sixth driest February on record dating back to 1856:
‘”We’re seeing a shift to the La Nina, it’s clearly in the data,’ NOAA Administrator Conrad Lautenbacher said. La Nina, a cooling of the mid-Pacific equatorial region, has not officially begun because it’s a process with several months with specific temperature thresholds, but the trend is obvious based on satellite and ocean measurement data, he said. ‘It certainly won’t be welcome news for those living off the coast right now…’"
Hurricanes now become the most likely way for us to get wet. As dry as we are, we need one, but it’s a shame to think of how many people will get hurt in order for us to end this drought of ours.
